In Donald Trump point of view, it’s too bad murder spoiled the momentum. The filter is off and what comes out of Trump’s mouth is nothing short of astounding. He’s upset a mass murder and threatened murder of former presidents (and others) may have hurt the GOP’s chances. He is also taking the blame off himself saying “we did have two maniacs stop a momentum that was incredible because for 7 days no one talked about the elections, it stopped a tremendous momentum.”

As the Washington Post writes, “he said that the weeks leading up to the ‘very important election’ haven’t exactly gone smoothly.” Does Trump realize things have gone a lot less smooth for the families that lost loved ones at the synagogue?
Does he even care (we know your answer)?

A week ago Trump also said the “bomb stuff” slowed “momentum.” The “bomb stuff” that just minutes later resulted in the arrest of Cesar Sayoc. Sayoc is the Trump supporter accused of sending the bombs out.
Republicans are doing so well in early voting, and at the polls, and now this “Bomb” stuff happens and the momentum greatly slows – news not talking politics. Very unfortunate, what is going on. Republicans, go out and vote!

Expect more outrageous statements leading up to election day. Anything to rile up the base.
Speaking about the midterms, Trump noted, “Now, we did have two maniacs stop a momentum that was incredible.”
I agree. Trump and Pence truly are maniacs and should keep their mouth shut, for the good of everyone.
